long gun "furniture"?

[kirby]

I'm looking for something that's basically a large ottoman that can store long guns. The top lifts up or something. Ideally this locks. I know it's not a safe or a "Residential Security Cabinet", it would be a locking ottoman. I've tried searching for various terms and gotten no where. Any pointers?

Could fit all sorts of toys in this!

That sounds like a custom build to me. Do you have friends that are also woodworkers? Being one, we like the challenge of something new like that....especially when someone else is buying the materials. To get an idea of how it will look, make a general design and tape it together out of cardboard. Then you will have some indication of whether it is appropriately sized for the other furniture and room you intend to put it into. One of the fun things would be to design the locking mechanism so it was easy to operate but not seen or obvious.

I forgot to mention (post edited)...I'd like it to lock.

What search terms did you use?

I don't remember which search found that www.mortonbooth.com site. I do remember trying 'gun safe blanket chest', 'gun safe' & then search-within-results for 'blanket chest'. I just tried 'gun safe horizontal' and got this:

www.kcsafe.com/items/gun-safes-and-...1854-8-gun-bench-gun-safe-a-hc1854-detail.htm

$1700 and 450 pounds.

"Attractive black cushion and cherry finish cabinet conceals the 8 gun fire rated gun safe discreetly and can be used as a comfortable bench seat in a bedroom, office or den. Assisted by two hydraulic gas pistons, the door opens and closes gently. Includes a lift out tray for additional storage. Also available in an oak finish."

AMSEC makes one. Here are links to a couple of pictures. Scroll down on the page to find them. I used the search term "horizontal gun safe" and posted before I saw JohnBT's post.
